Album Page: Leave in Hawaii - Schofield Barracks, Fort DeRussy, and Waikiki, March 1945

This 1945 album page documents a serviceman's leave in Hawaii, visiting Schofield Barracks' swimming pool, Fort DeRussy's beach, and downtown Honolulu with fellow soldiers Vincent Pinto, C. Drury, and Kelleher. A dated Recreation Center guest pass from March 1, 1945, confirms the visit occurred during the final months of World War II, when Hawaii served as a major rest and recreation hub for troops in the Pacific.
